REPORT OF PLAYGROUND SITE COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Several sites of land in Precinct Three have been carefully considered as possibilities for the location of a playground ; but, due to legal difficulties, the need for further consideration of other sites, and lack of funds, no final solution has been reached at this time; and your Committee, therefore, recom- mends that the Selectmen appoint a committee of three to continue study of the playground needs and to make recom- mendations thereon.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT PUTNAM,
Chairman.

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my report covering the financial transac- tions of the town for the year ended December 31, 1948.
I have included in my report a tabulated record showing appropriations, transfers and balances. The town is in an excellent financial condition as the balance sheet will show.
By advice from the Assistant Director of Accounts I have closed out the appropriations made under Articles 23 and 24 at the March meeting.
The amount of maturing debt for 1947 is $1,000.00.
I have verified the accounts of the Collector of Taxes and the Treasurer and have checked the various trust accounts in the custody of the Treasurer and Trustees.
HOWARD L. JONES, Town Accountant.
